Re:
The only mark against Sagan is I don't think he went on a breakaway in the Alps - or at least not in the final three stages. if he was prepared to be in a break then I would say it was an absolute injustice for him not to get it, but in reality he was on the break mostly in terrain that it was not impossible for him to win from, so it was as much a good strategy as pure attacking.
MikeTichondrius said:Honestly, Sagan would probably have taken this in my book. Breakaways he really had no business being in. Between Bardet and Pinot for example, I'd give it to Pinot on sheer stubborness (which paid off!).
